the Michigan RepublicansP They
claimed last fall that he would make
one or two of his speeches in Michigan,
but he came not. They advertised him
as one of the attractions of the exhibi-
ton given under the auspices of the
Michigan Club, but it turns out that he
would not be part of the show. Michi
gan Republicans will soon begin to
think that the magnetic mans neglect
is poor return for their loyalty, and

ROBERT BARBER met with a very
serious accident between Squaw
creek and High Valley last week.

not exactly agree as to the manner
in which he met with the mishap.
One is that young horse in the
team he was driving became un-
manageable, jumped off the grade,
pulling the other horses with him,
and wagon and all went down the
mountain. Another account is to
the effect that Mr.. Barber, in trying
to manage the horse, got in po-
sition where he could not escape
and was kicked several times. One
OF Mr.. Barber's legs was broken, and
he was severely injured in the breast
and side. His recovery is doubtful

regular old-fashioned, patriotic way,
on the Fourth, with music, procession,

Important Decision.
HALEY Inter-Idaho.

Case No. 49.-Woodworth ct al VS..
Bowles.
The plaintiffs we're represented by
Messrs. Ruick and Smith. Defen-
dant by d. E. Waldron.
The action is on the equity side of
the court, and is brought by. the
plaintiffs to test the validity of de-
fendant's title Of the right to use the
water flowing in certain stream on
land about ten miles below Bellevue.
The pleadlngs and evidence show
that the defendant, Bowles, filed on
the land two years ago, occupied the
land, diverted the water at once from
the creek and used the same for irri-
eating purposes during the seasons of
1885 and 1886. Plaintiffs last year
diverted the water of the same creek
and used it, taking it from defendant,
claiming that, by recording, their right
and title was superior to that of de-
fendant Bowles, who had failed to
make record of his water claim or
right. Defendant, in his answer to
the claim, did not deny that plaintiffs
had recorded their claim for the right
to use this water, but set up in his
answer that he had made prior ap-
preparation of this same water, that
he had used this water for a benefi-
cial purpose, and that recording the
same was not necessary whereon a
party continuously occupied the land
and used the water for useful and
beneficial purposes. Plaintiffs to this
answer demur on the ground that the
answer sets up no defense. The
court after argument of counsel took
the case under advisement some four
weeks ago. This morning the court
overruled the plaintiffs demurrer to
defendants answer. In other words
the court holds that water right,
like mining claim, may be taken up
and held by party without making
a record of same, provided always the
party is in continuous possession and
uses for beneficial purposes.
The foregoing is in substance the
decision of the court upon the impor-
tant question of water rights and how
they may be acquired. Its impor-
tance from SO learned Judge as
Case Broderick should make the read
ers Of the Inter-Idaho rejoice that the
old law of occupancy or possession is
still in force, and as of old overrides
all others.
